I’m a gift-giver, it’s one of my Love Languages. I read between-the-lines, priding myself in giving gifts that people want. Digital marketing is a lot like that.
Search data allows us to know what users are searching for, often before they do. With purposeful content, we can deliver exactly that.
Favourite Things
Carla loves quiet and cozy and is a bit of a foodie. Outside of work, you’ll often find her brunching at a local restaurant or having a cocktail or a glass of wine on a patio. She loves an afternoon spent reading a good book in a coffee-shop.
